Whether there are 3 of you or 8, with tiny little ones, teenagers, parents or grandparents, I want everyone to feel included, comfortable and genuinely looked after.

My hope is that when you look back on your session, you don’t just love the photographs - you remember it as one of the loveliest experiences you’ve shared together.

Thank you to another beautiful family for trusting me with your memories. It’s such a privilege. ❤️

If you’re new around here, welcome! ❤️

You’ll see a lot of beautiful photographs here, but what I really love creating is an experience - one where you feel looked after from the very beginning, right through to the moment you see your favourite photographs become beautiful keepsakes in your home.

I’m a full service photographer… so what does that actually mean?

It means I’m with you from the very first conversation.

I’ll help you choose the right location for your family, guide you with what to wear, help everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and make sure you never feel like you have to know what to do.

You don’t need to know how to pose or how to make your family look natural.

That’s my job.

Your job is simply to be together, enjoy your family and let me take care of the rest.

And when your session is over, that’s not where my job ends.

I’ll help you choose the photographs you love most and work with you to decide how you would like to enjoy them in your home.

I’ll come to your home, measure your walls, bring samples for you to see and help you choose the right size and finish for your space.

Whether it’s a beautiful framed photograph, a gallery wall designed especially for your home or an album filled with the memories you’ll want to look back on again and again - I’ll help bring it all together.

And if you need someone to install your artwork, I can even recommend trusted professional hangers who will do it beautifully.

Because I don’t want you to walk away from your session with a folder full of digital images and another job to add to your list.

I want you to have something tangible.
Something beautiful.

Something you can walk past every day and smile at.

Something your family can hold, look through and treasure for years to come.

That’s what full service means to me.

Beautiful photographs are just the beginning. ❤️

Nothing means more to me than knowing my clients walked away feeling seen, comfortable, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire experience.

When you choose me to photograph your family, your little ones, or your special moments, I want it to feel easy, relaxed, and memorable from beginning to end - not just beautiful photos, but an experience you’ll look back on fondly too.

Creating images is important, but creating connection, trust, and joy along the way matters just as much to me. ❤️

And just like that, we’ve reached the final photograph that I’ll be sharing from Alyssa’s pre-formal session. ❤️

What a beautiful way to begin such a special evening.

Before the celebrations, we took the time to create photographs that Alyssa and her family will treasure for years to come. That’s what I love most about pre-formal sessions - they become part of the memory, not just a record of it.

Thank you, Alyssa, for allowing me to share this beautiful milestone. I hope your formal was everything you dreamed it would be. ✨

Planning a high school formal? There are two beautiful ways to capture the memories. ✨

Option 1 - A dedicated pre-formal photo session.
We spend the first hour at a favourite outdoor Brisbane location capturing elegant portraits with your family. Then, for the second hour, the friends and partners arrive for all the fun group photographs before everyone heads off to the formal or pre-celebrations.

Option 2 - Coverage at your pre-formal celebration
I come to the home where the pre-formal celebrations are being held and photograph everyone with their partners (or without), individual portraits, with the parents, beautiful candid moments in between, and those epic group shots that everyone treasures. And of course, the excitement of everyone driving away to their formal. ❤️

Whichever option you choose, the goal is the same - creating beautiful memories of one of the most exciting milestones of high school.

One of the questions I’m asked most is… Can we include the family?
Absolutely. ❤️

A pre-formal session is about so much more than beautiful portraits of your daughter or son.

It’s a chance to celebrate a milestone together before she heads off to one of the biggest nights of her school years.

For Alyssa’s session, we photographed the whole family - including her grandparents - creating beautiful memories across generations before the celebrations began.

Those photographs will become just as meaningful as the formal itself.

It’s the little details that complete the look. ✨

The pretty nails, the handbag, the jewellery and all those carefully chosen finishing touches - each one part of getting ready for such a special occasion.

I love looking out for these details during a formal session because they’re such an important part of the story.

Years from now, it’s lovely to look back and remember not only the gown, but all the little things that made the day feel so special. ❤️

A moment to simply be still. ❤️

Amid all the excitement of a high school formal, there’s something lovely about taking a quiet moment to pause and take it all in.

These are the photographs I love creating - images that capture not only how beautiful she looked, but the feeling of this time in her life.

A beautiful young woman, surrounded by excitement and possibilities, about to celebrate such a special milestone.

Moments like these are worth remembering. ✨

One of my absolute favourites from Alyssa’s formal session. ✨

There’s something so beautiful about letting go for a moment, swirling your dress and simply enjoying the excitement of the day. The happiest smiles are often the ones that happen naturally.

Her family had found this fabulous location before the session, and it was the perfect place to create photographs that felt elegant, joyful and full of life. ❤️
